Project Fifty-Two


  • The idea is to get a year of your life recorded in some way. Every week for one year, participants will create something inspired by an event, a thought, or an emotion from that week.

Project Fifty-Two: Time to Get Ready...

2009 is almost here!  Which means that it's almost time for Project Fifty-Two to get going.  Remember, this is meant to be a no-stress project.  Just another way of getting creative and recording a bit about your life.  (If you'd like to read all the previous Project Fity-Two related posts, click here.)

  • If you would like to join the flickr group for Project Fifty-Two, you can find it here.
  • If you would like a blinkie/icon for your blog, you can download either of these:
Project52Blinkie
Project52Logo-w200

Now, remember that list that I asked you to make?  Basically, I just suggested that you write down a list of crafty projects that you wanted to get to "someday."  Now it's time for the next step.  Put it somewhere safe and forget about it.  Okay, you're probably thinking, "What an odd instruction."  That list is not something that I want stressing you out or weighing down on you.  That list is for a rainy day.  When you're creatively drained and out of time, pull out that list and do the first thing that appeals to you.  Trust me.  It's an easy way to kick yourself out of a creative slump.

I'm very much looking forward to January 1.  I can't wait to get started!  I hope you'll join me!

huuiii - can't wait :-) Sounds cool!

ah! Good thing I don't know where I put my list! lol

i would love to put the bigger icon on my blog, but i'm having trouble. i usually add gadgets by using html. i want it to stay on theright side and not justput it in a blog post that will end up in the archives... any advice?

I'm on it! Did the list... now to hide it... but hey, if I forget where it is... then when I need that creative kick in the pants I won't be able to find it! (see, stressing already! LOL)

I'll join the flicker group and for sure put the blinkie on my blog... (as soon as I start blogging again next week...)

Hugs!

This sounds fun - I'm in! Can't wait to get started - I'm going to start setting up my album tonite - thanks for the inspiration Julie!

okay, i'll grab your blinkie!! ;))

This is awesome - I am so going to do it.
l am also going to get my friend to.

Can't wait for 2009
